NOTE: This is a huge breakthrough.
(1) The document connects the four Pages of Burkes and Laurens Co, GA: This is the first soli d connection I have found between Elijah Dean (married Martha Page) and Lunsford C Pitts (mar ried Ruth Page) Elijah, as JP in Laurens, GA also performed the marriage between Baptist Scot t (see below) and Margaret Page and between Jacob Page and Elizabeth Roberts.
(2) Connects the Colemans, Reeses, Pitts, Lunsfords, and Deans: Elijah?s daughter Martha R De an married Tomalin Reese (see below) and named a son Lunsford Pitts Reese. (Lunsford Pitts R eese is injured severely in the Civil War, having joined the AL 33rd in Greenville, Butler, A L, and goes to Bonifay, FL, after the war.) This is also the first connection I?ve found t o the Lunsford family (Henry Lunsford), some of whom that went to Texas in the group with Sim eon Dean in 1870 are surely from the same family. Tomalin Reese?s grandmother was Susan Colem an (Andrew Jackson Deens married a Louise Coleman although I do not know if related).
